Technology & Safety

Common Problem

Sway Bar Links
One of the known issues with the Renault Megane RS is the sway bar links going bad, which can cause a knocking noise when driving on bumpy roads. This issue can be tested by placing a wrench on the nuts and checking for movement. Replacing these links is straightforward, but it may require using a torx or Allen key to prevent spinning. The standard links are gray aluminum, while upgraded ones are black steel, making it easy to identify if they have been replaced.
Electrical and ECU Issues
The 2019 Renault Megane RS has been reported to have several electrical problems, including ECU faults, ABS software errors, and issues with the injection control module. These problems can lead to limp mode and loss of power steering. A failing alternator was identified as a cause for some electrical issues. Ensuring solid battery connections might help alleviate some electrical problems.
Cooling Fan Behavior
Owners have noted that the cooling fan runs after parking the car, even without aggressive driving. This behavior is generally considered normal, as it helps cool the radiator and maintain coolant flow after stopping. However, it's advised to check coolant levels regularly, as low coolant can cause the fan to stay on. The fan might also be cooling down the turbo, which is beneficial for long-term seal health.
Suspension and Wear
The Renault Megane RS is known for chewing through suspension parts and wearing out bushings quicker than expected. Owners should keep an eye on wear and tear to ensure a smooth experience. Additionally, replacing the top engine mount and timing belt at regular intervals is recommended for maintaining vehicle performance.
